But there's good stories too....
Listening to humpback whales singing through the hull.
Swimming with dolphins in the middle of the Indian Ocean.
Hearing the hiss of the hull cutting through the water under full sail in the Atlantic with the bluest, clearest sky surrounding you.
Catching your first marlin.
That first glimpse of blue landmass.... and seeing the first land bird fly over.
Loads of great stuff!

There's "interesting" and there's fuckin' crazy.
Crazy is flying a chute in the Southern Ocean surfing down rollers at 20 knots in the dark dodging bergy bits with 33°F (1°C) green water pouring into the cockpit.
Crazy is for the young and the stupid.
Downwind tradewind sleighrides are one thing; ice, gales and cold are something else entirely— they're off my list.

'Fucking crazy' comes with it
There are times when it's not so fun.... but when you safely come out the other side, and you look at the incredible wonder that is your survival, you're more alive than you ever were before.

The fun factor is pretty low, too.

Bubbles from the pond frozen as the ices forms from the top down. More than likely, the bubbles are methane.
